O'Reilly Continues to Pound Olberman in Ratings

Bill O'Reilly continues to pound Keith Olbermann in the ratings--including the key 25-54 demographic, regardless of how The Huffington Post spun its recent article.

The Huffington Post recently pounded its chest when Keith Olbermann's 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' beat Bill O'Reilly's "The O'Reilly Factor" in the important 25-54 demographic--for one week.

What HuffPo neglected to mention is that this was one day, one demographic, one time.

From Newsmax:

MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" did average 477,000 viewers in the age 25 to 54 demographic during the first week of June, narrowly edging out Fox News "The O'Reilly Factor," which averaged 472,000 in that demo, according to Nielsen Media Research.

"This marks the first time that MSNBC has beaten Fox News in O'Reilly's 8 p.m. time slot," the left-wing Huffington Post screamed. But in fact, O'Reilly and Olbermann squared off against each other on only three days that week.

On Tuesday, the cable stations covered that day�s primaries, and on Friday, O'Reilly was on vacation, with Laura Ingraham filling in.
